Answers:Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
1).a) 2).c) 3).a) 4).c) 5).a) 6).a) 7).d) 8).b) 9).d) 10).a)
Solution:
Â
1).Concentration of water is 50% in mixture and 100% in water
[We have 20 litres of mixture and 5 litres of water]
(100 – x) / (x – 50) = 4 / 1
(100 – x) = (4x – 200)
300 = 5x
x = 60%
Answer:Â a)
Â
2).
Ratio = 80 : 10 or 8 : 1
In 40 litres of mixture, 5 litres of blue paint must be mixed, Ratio becomes 40 : 5 or 8 : 1
Answer: c)
Â
3).
Ratio = 75 : 15 = 5 : 1
In 10 litres of mixture, 2 litres of sulphuric acid must be added
Answer: a)
Â
4).
Ratio = 5 : 5 = 1 : 1
Hence, in 3 litres of solution, 3 litres of water must be added.
Answer: c)
Â
5).% of low quality wheat in first mixture = 10%
% of low quality wheat in good quality wheat (to be added) = 0%
Ratio = 5 : 5 = 1 : 1
Hence, in 150 kg of given mixture, 150kg of good quality wheat must be added.
Answer: a)
Â
6).Fraction of copper in given mixture = 3 / 8
Fraction of cooper in copper = 1
Ratio = (3 / 8) : (2 / 8) = 3 : 2
In 200 gm of alloy, copper that should be added is calculated as, (3/5)x = 200
x = 200 × (5 / 3) and copper
= 200 × (5 / 3) × (2 / 5)
= 400 / 3 = 133(1 / 3) gm
Answer: a)
Â
7).In water, there is 0% alcohol and in mixture there is 40% alcohol
[(40 – x) / (x – 0)] = 1 / 5
200 -5x = x
x = 200 / 6 = 33(2 / 6)% = 33(1 / 3)%
Answer: d)
Â
8).Concentration of water in initial mixture = 1/5
Concentration of water in water = 1
Concentration of water in final mixture =Â 8/15
Ratio = (7 / 15) : (7 / 60) = 4 : 1
Thus, 15 litres of water is added in 60 litres of initial mixture. Quantity of water in final mixture = 60(5 / 12) + 15 = 40 litres
Answer: b)
Â
9).Consider concentration of water only
Ratio = (1 / 3) : (1 / 3) = 1 : 1
Hence, in 45 litres of mixture 45 litres of water is added.
Answer: d)
Â
10).Consider concentration of water only
Ratio = (3 / 10) : (4 / 10) = 3 : 4
In 30 litres of mixture, 40 litres of water must be added.
Answer: a)
